This is the Doritos "Crash The Super Bowl" winner.

For the eighth straight year, Doritos will be "crashing" the Super Bowl with non ad agency ads. You can see all the submissions here. I've viewed many of them, and most of them suck balls, as usual — not that that's any different from when a Doritos ad agency creates the ads.
But this one, "Finger Cleaner", is a winner. And it currently leads in popularity, which is unusual, because the civilian Public usually sucks balls at judging what is a good ad.
It's pretty fucking creepy. I hope PepsiCo has the balls to run a glory hole commercial.

Leaving aside the nuclear offensiveness, it's actually a pretty good b-to-b ad. And yes, it is a real ad, from 2007, for IP Press (now known as IP Media Group) hawking their men's titles which include Belgian mag Ché — well known for over-the-top sexist ads.
Ad agency: Antwerp office of Duval Guillaume

FINALLY: some funny cereal ads.

These two "Competition Crunch" spots for Oatmeal Crisp are my kind of stupid. They may not be your kind of stupid, but stupidity — like love — is a many splendored thing. "Elitist Marionette" (above) is really fucking weird. "Ginger Wedding" (below) is more traditionally ad-like weird. But, both inexorably deliver the USP: CRUNCHINESS!
I have a nit, of course: I don't like the spokes-idiot; he takes away from the entertaining scenarios.
Ad agency: Cossette. See two more of the spots on AdVerve.

PETA's new Thanksgiving video is a fucking holiday miracle.

A miracle, in that it isn't the usual sexist, insensitive garbage. The video, "Thanks!—An Animated Trip To Holiday Slaughter", is well-thought out and well-produced. Well done.
The video is a collaboration between PETA, creative services agency
Cutter, and visual production company Big Machine, with original music composed by
Andrea Saparoff, according to their press release.
